I know this is very old but this was very helpful in understanding how to start off. It's a little overwhelming to start with all these different kinds of tobacco. Thank you.
Whole leaf is the way to go. I do 20% dark fire, 40% burley, 20% lemon Virginia and 20% first priming light leaf. Makes a very tasty and bold smoke. I really like Izmir Turkish but it has to high of a pH for me and I dislike the tongue bite.
I really need some help here! Can someone answer my questions, please? I live in Brazil and i'm doing a garden in my yard, that means i can't do flue-curing, or fire-curing. Sun-curing woul'd be ideal because here in Brazil is a very, very hot place with a low humidity (35%). Rains only in two in two months. The problem is that i don't like the tabaccos used in sun-curing, too spicy and need alot of aging. So, in Brazil the climate per day is about 110 fahrenheit daily, could I do some air-curing? Is that possible? I mean, wind is pretty low here but we have alot of sun. I don't know what seed i should plant... virginia gold for trying air-curing? Nope, right? Latakia i don't like and its sun-cured. I just have Burley and Maryland for air-curing, woul'd be good, works in my climate? Ty!
@@carmineredd1198 My favorite mix is homegrown "meechurinski tobacco" (sumatra X hungarian )cured quick fermentation with "sensei star "... much better than the ones listed before
Hi Al I live in Asia and usually smoke Amber Leaf or Golden Virginia, do you know what leaves I would need to blend to make a similar blend, any advice would be greatly appreciated, the local stuff is horrendous LOL
Running tobacco through a SHREDDER more than once will result in a product that is more like tobacco crumble and will be unsafe to use for cigarettes... it might be OK in a pipe but, in a cigarette, hot embers will always be falling from the tip.

Turkish tobacco brings good taste in a Blend .. and it makes that the Cigarette burns much smoother and longer 😉👍

Body & harshness...gotta have iT!
Have you ever considered using grams instead of ounces to make your measurements and calculations easier
Nope. Using either one is equally easy. The ounce measurement is more familiar to me, so I use that.
@@alhefner I’m just sayin cus 0.10 ounces is 2.834 grams and that number gives you more information to do a more accurate measurement.

If I want fine grind can I run it thru the grinder more than once?

@@alhefner Good to know. Thanks.
Is the Brightleaf the sweet kind or smooth?
It's very smooth and quite light.
mosT interesting....
Using a lid would work,
